MHD Status

This page holds the status of the revision of the Mobile access to Health Documents (MHD) profile.

The MHD profile was created in 2012 as a simple RESTful API to the Document Sharing environment (XDS, XCA, XDR, and XDM). This was at the same time that HL7 initiated their FHIR standard using REST. The profile, while in "Trial Implementation", inspired the creation of the necessary Resources within the HL7 FHIR standard. HL7 FHIR is now in "Draft Standard for Trial Use" (DSTU), so IHE is adjusting the MHD profile to utilize HL7 FHIR.

Volume 1 -- The original is mostly the same, as volume 1 material describes the need and overall architecture of the solution. This did change slightly

• This will be published soon.

Volume 2 -- There are efforts to develop the new Volume 2 material. To participate go to Mobile access to Health Documents - Supplement revision 2

• This effort is the focus now.
• The current goal is to ballot this as Change Proposal CP-ITI-791

Volume 3 -- The details of the data model as encoded using FHIR are being developed on the IHE Wiki. See MHD-rev2-vol-3

• This material will continue to evolve over 2014, so is only published on the Wiki.

Implementers will find additional guidance and examples at MHD Implementation Guide
